Just days after US commandos killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, President Obama has seen his popularity soar among New Yorkers, according to a poll released today.

In a survey commissioned by NY1 and the Marist Institute, a whopping 69 percent said President Obama is doing either “an excellent or good job” in office — a 10 percent increase compared to just last week before bin Laden’s lair had been raided.

“For New York City residents, the war on terror is not over, but they feel we just won a big battle,” said Lee Miringoff, director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. “They are thankful for the president’s leadership.”

Obama will participate in a wreath-laying ceremony Thursday at Ground Zero and then meet with first responders and families of 9/11 victims.

A majority of New Yorkers think Obama deserves the amount of credit he is receiving for taking out the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. Sixty-three percent said Obama is taking the right amount of credit, while only 18 percent say he is taking too much credit for it, the poll found.

When looking at the level of safety in the city, 37 percent said they feel New York is “less safe” following Sunday’s raid.

The poll also found that 51 percent said the city is “vulnerable to another terrorist attack,” with 12 percent saying they “are very worried about the possibility” of another attack.

The poll found that only 19 percent “are not worried at all.”

Despite the elation many New Yorkers felt following the announcement that bin Laden was dead, 48 percent believe the city has not fully recovered from the Sept. 11 attacks. When NY1-Marist asked the same question last week, 50 percent felt the city had not fully recovered from the attacks.

The survey comes a day after a Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll found that 56 percent of Americans approved of Obama’s job performance in a survey conducted Monday night.

Among those surveyed, only 38 percent disapproved of the commander in chief’s job performance. By comparison, only 47 percent of voters backed Obama during a similar survey last month, while 45 percent gave thumbs down.

Pew researchers said the sudden popularity surge is directly related to voters who giving Obama credit for nailing bin Laden.

For example, voter approval of his handling of the Afghan war and the war on terrorism overall shot up 16 points and 14 points, respectively. About three-quarters of voters said he deserves at least some credit for eliminating bin Laden.

But the survey also provided warning signs for Obama that the bin Laden bounce could quickly evaporate if voters remain cranky about sky-high gas prices and stubborn unemployment, thus imperiling his 2012 re-election bid.

A majority of respondents — 55 percent — disapprove of Obama’s performance on the economy compared to 40 percent who approve. That troubling grade is unchanged from last month.
